Flew on the A300 from Dublin to Faro in 2002 when I was just 17 seems a long time ago now
and the A300 I was on although I have no idea of the reg must have been nearly 12 years old then and they still looked new! Great aircraft and both served and represented Monarch and its brand well back then, just goes to show when an airline maintains aircraft well they will last a very long time. Time for the A300 to go to sleep now so to speak.
